Arches National Park


Arches National Park is a protected desert area which contains more than 2000 natural rock arches and various other rock formations like balanced rocks, spires, pinnacles, hoodoos and more.

Visiting the formations is relatively easy as an 18 mile scenic drive takes you within short hiking distance of the biggest arches & vistas. It does mean the park is rather popular and it's unlikely that you'll find solitude.

The scenery is stunning and the pictures speak volumes. Here's a few of our favorites:

Balancing Rock:

Double Arch:


Windows:


Landscape Arch (a football field would fit under it...):
